Default Destroyed VN

Thought you guys might find this of interest. I am not really a Car person, but i bought a VN in BRILLIANT condition over 4 years ago. It was on LPG most of its life and ran like an absolute dream! ... Here is what was left of it after a head on collision in February this year. I didn't come off much better either, but i am healed now.

Yeah, tell me about it.. it was a GREAT Car! Body was A1, the Interior was Berlina and in Mint condition, its engine ran like it was new, it had a 90 litre fuel tank, a 60 litre LPG Gas Tank, and it had been serviced its whole life with the service records when i bought it being about as thick as my arm, plus the Car was only 1 owner when i got it.

I sold a vn s1 when i was 18 to my best mate, i got a phone call at 2am the next week asking if i can organise a towtruck cause it was wrapped around a pole...

I had only just put on a set of genies, chip, shift kit, stereo, etc etc... and it was all gone and destroyed....

Glad to hear you are okay and healed.

What was the collision speed?

What sort of injuries did you sustain?

sad to see a nice clean vn put to rest. Any chance you want to sell the interior if you have bought the car back?

Glad you're okay, just shows just how tough the old girls are doesn't it? Try something like that in a small plastic rice-burner.

What was the other vehicle?

You are a lucky man i must say. This is my pristine Calais after old mate coming the other way had a micro sleep at 100kmh! It could have been worse but my bullbar deflected him a bit.

Glad you are okay dude, that's our 9 lives gone i reckon!

Cheers...................Pete!
